Instead of going in circles and repeating the same thing, let’s look at this from a different angle. People want neoliberalism so badly that they are willing to lay down their lives for it. They are willing to accept the most terrible forms of torture for it. Here is an example:
Being gang raped for 6 hours is something that a neoliberal subject uses to develop her personal brand and to monetize. It doesn’t get any clearer than this. You’ll have to tear the gang rapists, the Somali “learing centers” and all the rest of it from her cold dead hands. She loves all of it and she won’t let it go. She’s not experiencing “suicidal empathy.” This woman’s world has no empathy in it at all. She’s in the business of monetizing the emotions we leak as we recoil from the story in horror.
When we see welfare become a criminalized free-for-all, when cities turn into shantytown dumps, when the middle class remains a distant memory and child-bearing is enthroned as class privilege, let’s remember that this came about because people passionately wanted it. Let’s remember that they wanted it so badly that some of them went into the streets and laid down their lives for it. And they wouldn’t do it if alongside with everything it takes away it didn’t give them something so big, so enjoyable that no sacrifice would be too small.

Most people out there don’t want any of these extremes. We don’t want extreme neoliberal woke ideology, but we also don’t want untrained government goons shooting people in our streets over the slightest deviation.
I really don’t understand why we have to go from one extreme to the other.

People want what they help to bring about.

Both extreme left wokism and current government goonish behavior have the exact same desire: population control and obedience to government authority.
Both want to control people, different purposes, but ultimately they want to achieve the exact same thing. “Stay home and save lives” has become “Stay home and obey government or get shot”
Both are equally repulsive to me.

This is a false analogy because I don’t stay home and haven’t changed my daily life in absolutely any way.

You didn’t stayed home and disobeyed Biden’s orders and nobody shot you for it. Protesting and not following COVID mandates should never get you roughed up or shot by government goons.

Biden ordered lockdowns? Really?
” Protesting”
Interference with law enforcement is not just ‘protest’… why do people think that it’s a good idea to physcially interfere with armed law enforcement officers?
I don’t get modern leftist/liberals… they prattle on about how Trump’s government is literally nazis and then act as if law enforcement is a bunch of unarmed twerps…
Protest is fine (I support that). If you’re gonna get physical though…. things will get physical and you probably won’t like the result.
Two people now dead because they thought laws didn’t apply to them.
I’m not crazy about the way ICE is operating but if you regard it as a life and death struggle then don’t whine when that’s what it becomes.
